"Each time you claim a piece of content, you’ll also get directions outlining how to access it," said Amazon.

But, to claim some offers, you will need to link your Prime Gaming account to your game account.

"This tells the game you’re a Prime Gaming member, so it can unlock the respective content for you, free of charge," the firm added.

"Many of the free games with Prime are offered via GOG, the Epic Games Store, Legacy Games, or through the Amazon Games app."

Also, once the Prime Gaming account is linked to these game publisher and game-launcher accounts, Prime Gaming should remember most of them.

This means that claiming these games and in-game content freebies should be just a single click in future.
